Despite my efforts to remain alert, my vision blurred and my limbs grew heavy, the strain of the day's ordeals finally taking its toll.With a barely audible gasp, I felt myself slipping away, the world around me fading into darkness as my consciousness ebbed away. The last thing I heard before succumbing to oblivion was the murmur of voices, distant and muffled, as Killian spoke to the guards in hushed tones.Though the words eluded me, their somber tones echoed in the recesses of my mind, a haunting reminder of the precarious situation in which I found myself.

Elaine’s POV Consciousness slowly seeps back into my weary mind, I found myself hovering in that hazy space between dreams and reality. The remnants of my slumber clung to me like cobwebs, tugging at the edges of my consciousness with a stubborn insistence.Blinking groggily, I struggled to shake off the last vestiges of sleep, my mind still shrouded in the fog of dreams. But even as I reached out to grasp hold of the fading threads of memory, one image remained stubbornly vivid, etched into the fabric of my mind like a brand.It was her—the goddess from my dream. The very embodiment of all that I despised and feared, her presence looming large in the recesses of my mind like a specter of darkness. The memory of our encounter sent a shiver down my spine, the echoes of her words ringing in my ears with a haunting clarity. That evil goddess they worship like she is their life. Well she is theirs.

Elaine’s POV After finishing my meager breakfast, I leaned back against the cool stone wall, the remnants of the meal still lingering on my lips. Damon, the guard who had brought me the food, had left, leaving me once again alone in the small, stark room.With a heavy sigh, I let my thoughts wander, the weight of my circumstances bearing down upon me like a leaden shroud. The events of the past days swirled tumultuously in my mind, a maelstrom of confusion and uncertainty.I traced the lines of the patterned tiles beneath me with weary eyes, the monotony of the floor offering little solace in the face of my mounting troubles. Each passing moment seemed to stretch on endlessly, the silence of the room echoing with the weight of my solitude.Lost in my own thoughts, I allowed myself a moment of respite, the quiet stillness of the chamber enveloping me like a comforting embrace.

Killian’s POV I stepped out of Elaine's room, her presence lingered like a haunting melody in the recesses of my mind. I don’t understand how I am able to hear her even though she doesn’t open her mouth to talk. I hear whatever she is saying. What the hell?????Though our conversation had been fraught with tension and uncertainty, her image remained etched in my memory with a clarity that bordered on obsession.Her lips, a vivid shade of crimson against the pallor of her skin, had captivated me from the moment I first laid eyes on her. I have so many things I want her to do with those lips. A lot of them. In the dim light of her punishment white room, they had seemed to glow with a radiance that defied explanation, drawing me in with an irresistible allure that I found impossible to resist. I made my way down the corridor, the memory of her lips lingered like a phantom caress against my skin, igniting a fire within me that burned with an intensity I could scarcely comprehend. Imag

Elaine’s POV In the shimmering glow of the dream realm, the Moon Goddess appeared once more, her luminous form radiating with an otherworldly grace. Her voice, gentle yet commanding, echoed through the expanse, reaching out to me with a sense of urgency."Hello, child of the night," she spoke, her words carrying on the ethereal breeze, "you must heed my warning. There is a danger approaching, a darkness that threatens to engulf you."But I stood firm, my defiance unyielding as I faced the divine figure before me. I wanted to ignore her again but it seems like ignoring her is not going to let her stay away from me so I rolled my eyes before I answered. "I will not heed your warnings," I declared, my voice tinged with bitterness. "Any danger that comes my way is of your making, born from the chaos and turmoil of your creatures."The goddess's gaze held mine, her eyes pools of ancient wisdom. I hate that she is a divine being no matter how much I don’t want her to. Goddesses exist and t
